S1rKA (Alaska), December 1st (via Mana
imo, December th).-The mail steamer ar
rived last night with q small mail, Il small
passenger list and very small freight.
The weather for the week has been cold
and clear, with fresh gales from the north
east The United States District Court has
been in session for the last week. There
has been considerable excitement in town,
on account of the several murder cases to
be tried this term of the Court.
The trial of Fuller, who murdered Arch
bishop Seghers last winter on the Yukon,
has been going on for several days. 1t was
given to the jury some forty-eight hours
ago, and up to the present time they have
not agreed on a verdict, but it is under
stood that they report eleven for murder in
the first degree and one for manslaughter.
At Juneau it has been very cold for the
last ten days, with heavy gales from the
north, the thermometer going as low as 12o
above zero. This we consider very cold
weather for this time of the year.
The cold weather reduced the supply of
water so much at the Alaska Mill and Min
ing Companys works that they had to start
up their large engines to run stamps.
It is reported that they have struck 1t
very rich in one of the tunnels in the
Treadwell mine They have struck large
body of ore in the tunnel running on the
line between the Treadwell and Bearnest
mines, which yields $1,000 to the ton, and
everybody in the camp is going wild over
the strike.
There were about one hundred and fifty
men wintering on the Yukon and there
will be about five hundred men going up
from here in the spring.
There is considerable excitement about a
strike on the Yucatel. Some parties ar
rived here this week with black sand which
assayed as high as $50 per ton, and they
report that there is a very large quantity
of it. Several people are fitting out for

WHY WE HAVE CHoLERA.-In spite
of the remarkable success of sanitary poll
cling in the suppression of Asiatic cholera
in Calculator possibly because of that
success?-the local Commissioners of health
have actually dismissed the corps of sani-
tary inspectors that were employed a year
ago at the solicitation of their Health Off
Ger, DIR. Simpson, who complains bitterly
in his late report of this glaring exhibition
of Indifference and stupidity. AS Calcutta
and its region are the grand fount and ori-
gin of this world-devastating plague it be-
comes an international question, and the
right of every country to demand of the
Government that has assumed control of
that region to use all possible means to
stamp out the infection at its fountain
head. 1t would be eminently fit, and per-
haps effectual, for other countries to place
an embargo on the commerce of Calcutta
in their ports until this obvious duty of
its authorities should be recognized. The
experience reported in the above-cited pas
sage from our files abundantly proves that
the extinction of Asiatic cholera is within
the power OF the British authorities in In
dia.

says: This, then, is the sum of

The World says: THE Maine statesmans
interview is, in fact, a proclamation that
Blaine considers himself to be the chosen
champion of protection, and that he is
ready to enter the Presidential list again as
such. President Cleveland stands for this
purpose. Blaine comes forward as
champion of the opposite idea. The Dem
ocratic party could not ask for better is

CAREY AND DELMAS.

SAN Francisco, December 9th.-[Special !
General Carey stated to your correspondent
to day that the Washington press dispatch.
of this morning, relative to his consent to
the appointment of Delmas as his assist
ant at the time therein stated is absolutely
false. He says Mr.. Montgomery never
mentioned the matter of the employment
of Delmas until Wednesday, the 26th day
of October that the first time Montgomery
mentioned the subject to him Montgomery
informed him that he had been in
consultation with Delmas that he had got
ten his terms, etc., and asked Carey whether
he had any objections; that Carey at once
replied that he had serious objections, and
proceeded to state them without reserve; /;
that Montgomery was not out of his office,
nor his presence, from the time the matter
was first mentioned until Carey had fully
stated his objections, and that he at no
time assented to the appointment.

The HOTEL IN YosEMITE.-J. J. Cook,
lessee of the Stoneman Hotel, accompanied
by D. F. Baxter, arrived in the city last
Saturday. They left Yosemite on Tuesday,
the 10Th ult. Four inches of snow had
fallen in the valley the first day of the
storm, and at Tamarack Station and other
points on the summit it was eight inches
in depth. A private letter from Wawona
under date of Monday, December 9th, says
the storm had compelled temporary sus-
pension of work on the Chihuahua trail,
which will probably be left in an unfn-
ished condition till spring: but the bridge
above the upper fall will undoubtedly be
completed this season. The weather has
cleared up, and the snow was rapidly dis
appearing. Mr. Cook got all his furniture
into the hotel just ahead of the storm. The
water supply pipe is laid, and everything
in and about the hotel is ready for the re-
ception of guests when the tourist season
commences.-S. f. Call.
